Henry Ward Beecher has received
more money for lectures than any other
man on the platform record. He has
been lecturing for forty years, his fees
having increased from $50 to 5000,
and the aggregate amount being estimated
at $3.50, 900. Most of this money, how
ever, has been lost. Greeley paid for
Chappaqua by his lectures. Bayard Tay-
lor cleared in the same manner 50, 500 in
one season. Tilton used to deliver fifty
lectures in a season at $75 to 800. Josh
Billings had all the engagements he
wanted at 500, and left an estate OF
$40, 900, all made after he had passed 40.
Chaplin made $780, 900 by his lectures and
Emerson got rich in the same manner.
Anna Dickinson was at one time worth
$15, 900, all made by lectures, but it was
lost through mismanagement. Mark
Twain has made between 1926, 900 and
S5O.0 600 by his lectures.-New York

Pending the discussion of the desira-
bility of adding dynamite to red hot
stoves and oil lamps as a remedy against
the sufferings and fortunes of being first
smashed and then slowly roasted in a
burning car, it might be worth while to
inquire why it is that the effete nations
of the old world never are under the
necessity of discussing means of speedy
death as a relief from the torture of rail
way casualties. Is it not somewhat sim
gular that among the played out denizens
of Europe bridges don't drop when trains
cross them; switches are not misplaced
when a lightning express is due; the pas
senger coaches never tumble down high
entertainments and then catch fire and
roast their mutilated contents? How do
they do things over there? 1t is true
that these people are effete, and won
out, and passe, while it appears that
there is a point or two where they have
the advantage of us.-Chicago Times.

OUR ITALIAN CLIMATE.

The present month has thus far been a
remarkable one, the temperature for the
past week has been like that we generally
have here in June, and vegetation has
consequently taken a very early start
The opening season of spring proper
may not yet be here. but its album
dant sigps and %forerunners are to be seen
and felt-and to mono are they more vel
come than to the stockmen and farmers
who have watched and waited for their
coming. 1t is something to get safely
through one of our long winter seasons.
Some of our people escape its more dis
agreeable features and experiences by
fleeing southwark or westward; but what
they get there is not the inspiring season
of spring-and nowhere is that bright
season more attractive and inspiring than
it is here on the plains and in the hills
and valleys OF Wyoming.
The poet Bryant, who always, more
than others, entered into the true spirit
of our seasons, in a poem on March pro
claimed his Joy at the return ofthe stormy
month, for it brings back ito northern
lands again" the glad and glorious sun -
And in thy reign OF blast and storm,
Smiles many a long, bright. sunny day.

A very large proportion of the work OF
collecting and preparing news for a daily
paper can not, from the nature of things,
be performed by women About half the
persons employed on a city daily paper
are reporters. They are likely to be sent
anywhere and everywhere by the city
editor at any hour of the day OIL night.
They are obliged to visit places where the
foot of a modest woman should never
tread. They are forced to familiarize
themselves with crime and criminals.
They must attend horse races, sparring
matches, prize fights, changing bees, "
political conventions and other disrepu-
table gatherings. They must follow n
gines to fires, run after the police patrol
wagon, mingle with mobs, witness dog
fights and "chicken contentious go in
disguise into secret meetings of Anarch-
lists and be in attendance at police court
trials and coroner 8 inquests. Till women
abandon their womanhood they can not
become efficient newspaper reporters
